Starry-Eyed
03:12

Why do my dreams taunt me
with rivers that only run dry?
This doomsday clock, so close to midnight
haunts my hypnagogic hours
While we take somnambulant steps
edging closer to our fate
When it mattered most your heart was indignant
But your rage is just another panacea
The starry-eyed connection left us
hollowed out and breaking down
Famous for far too long
machinery of glitz and gloom
And we get intoxicated
By our imminent demise
Time slipped between a heartbeat
We’re seconds from the end
This fallacy is poison
Trickle down till we’re dead

War Chest
03:24
|
|||
|
In the underworld everything was alright
But the waking world has me and I’m okay
I need it now, I need this whole day
There’s too much, way too much to take in
From the ash trees to hough end
I was asleep, now I’m on the mend
My war chest is full, it overflows
With so much love for so many souls
In the underworld I couldn’t catch my breath
In the waking world, all I see is sunlight
I need it now, I need every damn ray
To wake up and feel it every day

Great North East
04:25
|
|||
|
I’m on my way to the great north east
History of a family at sea
Takes a second to know your kind
People who already know your mind
God among us, to be in love
It’s a whisper away, that’s a lifetime today
In that void space, you voyage across
Bound for heartbreak, bound for loss
A new friend is a spark so pure
Heals a wound that was once so sore
Flash of heaven in a flick of hair
Another love vanished into the air
To be in that place, you’ve given up
But you’re so content, cos you’re so in love
Free from the chains of the meet and greet
Languishing in a fantasy
You know this rush is doomed from the start
Cos you can’t stand to be apart
God among us, to be in love
Bound for heartbreak, bound for loss

Fresh Hell
03:29
|
|||
|
I know your heart breaks daily
and you can’t let go of it
Proximity to skin
but so far away from it
Miles from the synergy
of domestic bliss
Future that won’t quit
This present don’t exist
I know you’re sinking in this lockdown abyss
Back to square one - what fresh hell is this?
Lonely days drift and you
can’t see an end to it
yr isolated and
desperate to give in
Waiting again for some
half baked bullshit plan
Hundred thousand dead
still don’t give a damn

Vapour Rub
05:33
|
|||
|
On your back and chest, and the curve of your breast
With the vapour rub, I would caress
As you sat up straight, with sleep in your eyes
I was high, I was in love
Now you’re in the bath with tears in your eyes
I’m stood up, motionless eyes
Can’t make sense, of desire and faith
I’m worn out, I was in love
I was in love, I was in trouble
Now chaos reigns in the palace hotel
Brandy flows and we lose our minds
To the practice room, the curbside of doom
I was low, I was in love
And the years have passed as I write your name
On a cardboard box, thinking ‘the end of shame’
I place inside my whole life’s work
It’s complete, I was in love

The Very Last
02:51
|
|||
|
My best friend’s dad
Is a nasty man
He beats his wife
Because he can
He’ll rot in hell
Of this I’m sure
I’d let him starve
Outside my door
I won’t forgive myself
For what I’ve done
I terrorised your heart
And I can only run
Scars of the ocean
Around my neck
Too intertwined
But beautiful for it
Say a wish
And carry on
The best kiss was
The very last one

Days (On Lockdown)
03:05
|
|||
|
I await the news
About your sudden turn
But I got all the time
In the world these days
I’m so heartbroken
I’ve given over four years
But I’ve got all the time
In the world these days
I avoid the news
Until I can take it
But I got all the heart
In the world these days
These days on lockdown

Saturday Morning
06:43
|

|
Saturday morning and I’m Trafford bound
Old songs behind me and the new waiting to be found
I can’t face that scene tomorrow, I don’t have many of those left
There’s only so much tension you can carry in your chest
Saturday morning, those messages kill me dead
Just let me out of this, I need a whole new mess
What got into you, never left it’s true
You’re in this fight for good
This forbidden dream, runs aground again
But the tide lifts us up soon
A manufactured glimpse of this early sun
The grey never leaves but the dullness you can overcome
It’s baked in you know, all that rivers of blood
Let’s take these fuckers down and keep em down for good

Shadowmoss
05:00
|
|||
|
Can we redraw the lines?
another place, another time
Our shadows bolt hand in hand
to another place, another land
To Rhoslan, the ‘moss, New Orleans
to live in peace, in our dreams
If love alone won’t make you whole
The demise won’t break you and take it all
I’m in love with the kind I’ve missed
An idea that don’t exist
Where the warmth, and the touch I feel
When it clears, is no longer real
If love alone won’t make you whole
The demise won’t break you and take it all
Don’t give your love to someone who
won’t receive it, that’s a golden rule
